Here is a killer demo from a band that I only ever saw twice. Unfortunately one of those two times was their last show at Grey Lynn Library Hall, at least I think thats where it was, my memory of it could be wrong.
Some of you might recognize track two as being released on the "All we have is metal" comp but under the name Day One.
Basically after The Creed split a bit of a lineup change happened then they emerged with the name Day One and obviously kept a few of the old songs while Ben G was still singing. Day One then replaced Ben G with Mike and went on to become one of the most well known names in New Zealand Hardcore.

I am making Balance the first band to get the "Walk among the enemy" treatment because they were the first band to get me into Auckland and New Zealand Hardcore. I have so many good memories of this band it's crazy. I also made so many friends from this era of NZ Hardcore that remain good friends to this day.
I first saw Balance at the '97(?) Warped Tour after being told by a complete stranger (who I would later get to know as Angelo) to go and check them out when he came and struck up a conversation with me because of the Strife hoodie I was wearing. After that I took every oppurtunity I could to see this amazing band live!
To this day the best show I have been to in New Zealand is the last Balance show at what was then the Squid Bar with State Of Grace (also their last show), Witness and DSM.
Thank you Balance for all the good times!
Thanks to Andy and Wadzy for making this and future posts possible!
